More accessible and higher quality cameras with Artificial Intelligence

A few years ago, Artificial Intelligence (also called AI) with Deep Learning technology was only implemented in high-end video surveillance cameras for critical or extreme security uses. Fortunately, this is no longer the case. It has increasingly ceased to be an emerging technology and has become just another technology at our disposal.

In this sense, AI cameras with this type of technology can now be found in mid-range or even budget ranges from specialised manufacturers such as Hikvision.

Throughout this post, we will show you different Hikvision surveillance cameras with Artificial Intelligence that you can find in our online store at prices as affordable as any other standard security camera. To see the prices, simply register as a web customer and you will be able to access all our rates.

Before showing you the cameras that feature this advance, it is worth explaining what Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning are and what they consist of. Only then will you be able to know if it is what you need for your next project.

Artificial intelligence is the name we give to the ability of machines (their processors and software) to think as a human brain or mind would. In this sense, a CCTV camera has AI when, for example, it is able to distinguish between a vehicle and a human. When this differentiation occurs, the system can even trigger an alert or alarm to warn of danger due to intrusion, theft, accident, etc.

These types of actions, which in the past could only be performed with human intervention, are now carried out by electronic security systems themselves; in this case, CCTV systems with this technology. This advance represents a significant increase in security and, in addition, a considerable reduction in false alarms.

Deep Learning is the tech that lets CCTV have AI. It's based on machine learning that trains the machine to do stuff like humans do (recognise speech, images, detect objects, etc.).

There is just one more concept to explain before we move on to the most accessible cameras with Artificial Intelligence that we have at Hommax: Acusense technology.

Hikvision's AcuSense technology provides accurate detection in security hardware, powered by Deep Learning algorithms. This technology is capable of distinguishing people and vehicles from other objects; based on this analysis, the device will only activate an alarm when the pre-set type of intrusion (person or vehicle) occurs. In addition, videos related to alarm events are classified into categories of people and vehicles for easier image searches. A major strategic advantage of this type of technology is that the data collected can be used for decision-making and to design effective solutions in the areas under surveillance.
